What exactly is 'NEWCARD'? in my 5.4-REL .../conf I have only:

$ ls
GENERIC         Makefile        OLDCARD         REBELION        gethints.awk
GENERIC.hints   NOTES           PAE             SMP
$

(REBELION is my tweaked kernel config);

Yes, of course. But before that I've to add some more RAM and
a bigger harddisk to it; the old mobile has only 32 MByte and
around 3 GByte disk, which worked fine for a long time with
FreeBSD 2.2.6 (of course: no KDE, no digital fotos, no ... :-))
